That’s it. Eyeball it. It costs pennies to make.
All the animal products are microscopic amounts in the “beef” and “chicken” bouillon cubes, they ALL contain yeast extract, salt, onion powder as 99% of their composition.
You obviously don’t need any of the animal products but you don’t need any of the preservatives, sugar and corn solids either.
Be free from Big Stock and Big Bouillon who have been lying to you all this time.
The premade stuff also sucks for non-Western cooking, as the herbs and salt will fuck up the flavour balance.
I needed to hear this lol
We use a lot of vegetable stock; we make it at home sometimes and it’s delicious but nowadays we often use stuff from a jar. Looking at the jar the first ingredient is vegetables, so better than your standard stock I suppose.
It’s never occurred to me to use nooch as a substitute before when we’re out, I’ve always just skipped the broth and had sad weak soup with water instead… This will be good for the days I’m craving soup but the fridge is empty.
Get the word out!
Even worse, some use palm oil.
Marmite (another yeast based thing, I think) tastes as good or better than most beef bullion I’ve tried, a good replacement if you need a beefy flavor!
I prefer miso, personally
I love miso and have really been enjoying Korean Doenjang recently
Coupled with tomato and or tomato paste makes for a very beefy kind of broth
Yes! Marmite and vegemite make great broths and to me taste like a combination of nutritional yeast and soy sauce
I mean yeast extract is pretty different from nutritional yeast no?
not really in function in this application, both are glutamate bombs. You don’t need too much of it for the effect.
In Australia a brand makes a low fodmap vegan stock powder. It tastes identical because it is. They just remove the animal products that are there for labelling purposes.
MSG is a refined glutamate as found in nooch , onion powder and turmeric are also found in this. It is extremely close in profile. The rest are preservatives and a small amount of fat. You can just use those ingredients I put in the description and replicate all the dominant flavors of this disgusting shit you linked.
I love that you posted this because it confirms @hamid’s point so succinctly.
It’s mostly MSG, with chicken fat being below palm oil on the ingredients list. Just replace both fats with some other oil and you’re good to go
